Results from this study4

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured4

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

  1. 01HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyOther

    In 121 type 2 diabetics on clopidogrel after revascularization, blood MOTS‑c below 167 ng/ml predicted major adverse cardiac events (relative risk 3.8) over 2 years.

    In plain wordsIn people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, a low level of the body's own MOTS‑c was linked to more heart events.

    Summary
    HPR, β-amyloid > 51 pg/ml and MOTS-c < 167 ng/ml were predictors of MACE (relative risk 3.1, 3.5 and 3.8 respectively, p < 0.05) after adjusting for confounders and medication.

    Summary · context
    In 121 type II diabetics, treated with clopidogrel and aspirin, (93 males, mean age 67.2 years) we measured: (a) maximum platelet aggregation to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) by light transmission aggregometry (LTAmax), (b) malondialdehyde (MDA), as oxidative stress marker, (c) MOTS-c, (d) β-amyloid blood levels.

    This result measures the body's own MOTS-c. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

  2. 02HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyOther

    In type 2 diabetics, high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity and blood MOTS‑c showed a significant interaction in the prediction of major adverse cardiac events.

    In plain wordsIn people with type 2 diabetes, high platelet reactivity and the body's own MOTS‑c level together predicted heart events.

  3. 03HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyOther

    In type 2 diabetics, high platelet reactivity together with blood MOTS‑c below 167 ng/ml carried a fourfold higher risk of major adverse cardiac events than no predictor (relative risk 4.447).

    In plain wordsIn people with type 2 diabetes, high platelet reactivity plus low natural MOTS‑c was linked to about four times more heart events.

    Summary
    Patients with HPR and β-amyloid > 51 mg/dl or HPR and MOTS-c concentration < 167 ng/ml had a fourfold higher risk for MACE than patients without these predictors (relative risk 4.694 and 4.447 respectively p < 0.01).
